Solution to help enable their direct participation in the Canadian retail market space
CGI announced that Peoples Trust Company (PTC), part of Peoples Group, a leading provider of financial services to the Canadian marketplace, has selected CGI All Payments to provide the capabilities the company needs to directly participate in Canada’s Automated Clearing Settlement System (ACSS). ACSS is the system through which Canadian cheques and electronic payments are cleared and settled. In June 2022, PTC became the first new direct participant connecting to ACSS in nearly 40 years. Further, PTC will use CGI All Payments, a proprietary, market-leading, cloud-based platform, to modernize and digitize its payments systems and expand its payment offerings for customers.
